Daytona Specs: Banking/Turns: 31° · Distance:
2.5 miles · Shape: Tri-oval
General Information - If you are looking for the best views of
the entire track we suggest buying seats in the higher rows, rows
22 and up. If you want to feel the thunder of the cars driving by,
try finding seats located in the lower rows. The entire track will
not be visible from the lower rows but you will get a close up view
as the cars scream by. Seating Chart
Tower Seating - Daytona Speedway is a 2 1/2 mile track. (This
is very big.) To get a full view of the entire track you really need
to be in the tower seats, which are usually the last 20 rows of the
grandstands. For the best possible viewing of the race and to really
impress your client or someone special I highly recommend the Nextel,
Earnhardt and Petty Towers. Located on the front stretch and near
the start finish line these seats offer an awesome view of all the
high-speed action. However the price on these tickets is usually very
high. The Roberts and Weatherly Towers offer a similar view and tend
to be a bit lower in price. If the cost of tickets in the above sections
is still more than you wish to pay look for seats in the Depalma and
Seagrave Towers. In my opinion these seats offer the best bargain
for your money. These are the last sections on the front stretch that
allow you to see the pits along with the entire track. The Keech,
Lockhart and Oldfield Towers are the least expensive Towers on the
front stretch. Although you don't have a good view of the pits
you are still sitting on the front stretch where most of the passing
and or crashing action occurs. The last of the Towers are located
on the backstretch in the Allison, Lund and Turn 2 sections. Although
tickets in these Towers offer the lowest prices for Tower seating
I personally would rather sit lower on the front stretch than up higher
in these sections. To give you an idea as to how great the view is from the Towers, here is a Nextel Tower photo view taken from Row 27 before the Daytona 500.

Box Seating - Box seats generally start at row 14 or 16, except
the Campbell box which is elevated, and go to row 25. The Box sections
are only found on the front stretch directly under the Tower sections
with the same name except for the Campbell Box which is directly under
the Nextel Towers. The only difference between the Tower and Box
sections is how high up from the track you sit. Once you get below
the 22nd row of the box sections the backstretch becomes more difficult
to see due to obstructions on the infield such as the Media Tower,
Position Tower, garages, car carriers, motor homes etc. The price
of tickets in these sections also differs from the Tower sections,
they are a bit more wallet friendly.

Chair Seating - Chairs are usually the first 15-18 rows depending
on the section. Again other than the Campbell Chair, which is elevated,
all of the other Chair seats are located under the Box section with
the same name. These are the lowest priced tickets on the front stretch.
Although you are very close to the action on the track in these sections,
if you get down too low (rows 1-2) it is difficult to see the cars
as they come out of the turns and suck up to the walls. Chair seats
are fairly cheap compared to the cost of other seats so if your looking
to experience high-speed, high action NASCAR racing without the high
price, try looking for seats in these sections.

Low Row Backstretch Seating (Rows 1-32) - Unless you are planning
to attend Daytona just for the experience and really don't care about
where you sit I would not recommend buying seats in these sections.
Although these tickets are budget priced sitting here will seriously
take away from your experience due to the limited view of the track.
